“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

India’s Supreme Court has ruled that menstrual health is a fundamental right. If implemented the decision could help more girls stay in school by requiring toilets, menstrual products & awareness sessions in schools.

In several Indian states the TFR now matches the rates you find in rich European countries. Tamil Nadu and West Bengal each have the same fertility rate (1.3) as Finland. Maharashtra, a big western state encompassing Mumbai, is on a par with Norway (1.4). https://t.co/jjAWddiO3A

I’m in utter shock, this is not appropriate public service behavior. Regardless of political affiliation, please do not conduct any political outreach campaigns at Govt. schools or any schools. The concerned Govt officials need to reprimand this behavior.

Whether govts tell women to have fewer children, or more as in Andhra, what's the difference? They fail to acknowledge that women have agency, have a right to decide. Do read this excellent piece by @NikhilaHenry in @IndianExpress

Modelling results suggest that even a single day of extreme heat yields thousands of excess deaths, and a multi-day heatwave results in tens of thousands of excess deaths. #Heat is a public health emergency. https://t.co/RNgkPNAkq6 @MoHFW_INDIA @ndmaindia @thePHFI @CEEWIndia

JUST IN | A suspected Ebola case triggered a health alert in Bengaluru after a 28-year-old woman from Uganda, who developed mild symptoms including body ache, was shifted from a hotel to the State-run Epidemic Diseases Hospital on May 26, 2026, reports Bageshree Subbanna.

The internet used to be full of websites; there were millions of them and you could browse for hours and come away smarter rather than dumber. Now there are four sites and they've made half the population illiterate. We've destroyed a wonderful thing, and it has destroyed us.

"We must, then, avoid the 'Babel syndrome,' namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance."

[Joseph Fasano @Joseph_Fasano_]

This one document contains more moral clarity, spiritual guidance, philosophical wisdom, and pure human intelligence than all the digital ink spilled in the last decade. Please, please read it all. No matter what your religious beliefs are, please think about it, teach its ideas, discuss it, ponder it. *This* is the level of thoughtfulness we need as a society, and this is what humanity looks like.
